Romansh: Interestingly non coding (junk) DNA and evolution live quite happily together.

I looked at Wiki and found it rather evenhanded. I recognize there is a debate over the ENCODE results, but the ENCODE authors are quite adamant there interpretation is correct. My point is, since then more non-coding DNA is turning up with some biologic function. I'm sure there is useless DNA, but its percentage is still up for debate. And a massive portion of DNA as evidence for evolution discarding "junk" seems to be disappearing.
